Unnamed Thermal Spring
Sierra County, New Mexico, about 25 miles from Truth or Consequences, holds this unnamed thermal point with water reading in the mid-nineties. That is soaking temperature. Nothing else is known about it on the record: no owner, no access status, no chemistry, no road name. The location and the temperature are the whole file.
It sits around 5,600 feet in country with little snow and light rain. A short walk, about five hundred yards, is what separates it from the road. Kingston Campground is the closest camp listed, a bit over seven miles off. Public or private, the surrounding land is unrecorded.
Winter is the season on file. Find out whose land it is first. No fee, no sample, no image. Kingston Campground works as a base. The temperature figure has no sample date attached, so it may be decades old. Go to scout it, and count any soak as a bonus.
Small campground located along the north side of New Mexico Highway 152, near mile marker 40, near Middle Percha Creek, on the eastern edge of the small town of Kingston, NM.
this spring sits at 5,580 feet above sea level, way above the mile-high mark. You may not feel the altitude strongly, but hot water still dehydrates you faster at elevation. UV is about 22% stronger than at sea level, so bring sunscreen and drink more water than you normally would.
